so you're watching r t our main stories this hour gunfire and explosions are heard there colonel gadhafi is bunker when forces personnel on the no fly zone over libya . russian cities sending a person in civilian casualties. from the u.s. has rushed to join the military effort in libya despite already having to pay billions for bungling conflicts elsewhere. they think that the penny pritzker system. japan resumes efforts to stabilize the government reacts is.

what was suspended unexplained swing conditions. struggles to regain control over the nuclear plant out of recent quake experts from around the world are debating the future of atomic energy policy talk to one of russia's leading scientists in the industry about the challenges that lie ahead. path nuclear disaster continue sending shock waves through all of the glow it is that of the patient that we are now joined by one of russia's leading nuclear experts it us off strong thank you very much for your time sir now many experts have already compared the focus. of the chernobyl past how proper of these comparison is in your going out. in my opinion the entire atomic energy

community believes there will not be a global catastrophe global background radiation will certainly increase today's rise is related to our yield of relatively short lived isotopes like i said. and noble gases which will decay relatively quickly now the key issue is whether they manage to contain fission material in the melted fuel within the core. mass which is now being formed in the three reactance even the japanese themselves admit that real thing is taking place this mass can also appear in other reactors as well as the situation is still unclear even around those units that will shut their obviously they haven't fully taken the situation under control get but hopefully once the electric cable the japan is heavily counting on is installed it will enable them to somehow localize the process in the actives and coupons if they manage to localize a mission and keep everything inside the case and this local accident will be

limited to a certain area and it won't spread far as a result of the tories disaster of twenty five years ago a huge amount of the mission took place back then cesium spots appeared which meant that fission fragments were yielded from damage fuel nothing of the sort is happening in the current situation hopefully the japanese experts will manage to block the emission of a large amount of activity from there if you order this way the accident will stay limited within certain regions of japan. rather than the whole country. how bailable is that operation all the focus. of the international community will be nuclear experts are you satisfied with the access that the japanese government was brandel accident. certainly not a country report every day by day changing every detail of japan's atomic industrial form has been providing a rather detailed table of each blocks condition it's hard to judge its

truthfulness not because they're like brother because they may not know it all background radiation at the site limits the work personnel can undertake it's still unclear whether control devices operating properly and monitoring the temperature and radiation environment correctly in all sports but they do provide detail daughter in each block i don't each system of those blocks such as the. containment confinement and so on and they detail buildings of which blocks have been significantly damaged but all these things are rather predictable such events are always tragic as it means the deaths of people it slows down the development of atomic energy which is also tragic as i strongly believe that mankind really must develop each failure such as this on the one had delays its growth but on the other teaches us and valuable lessons for the future therefore i believe that no matter what they inform us of now all this started will be thoroughly analyzed in the future it is customary for the atomic energy community to profoundly analyze the

events together as we should be helping each other. and all its lessons are now open to the international community even though the reactors of that kind are operating in russia nonetheless it was a very great accident and the experience of this liquidation is available from the japanese side is already taking over the shelter object concept they hope to somehow suppress emission from their reactors and build something similar to our shelter from where they will be taking measures on liquidating the consequences. simply things develop similarly everywhere but in the case of emergency one doesn't like giving advice on the spur of the moment in order to advise properly one has to know the entire situation we make a calculation and we analyze and then attempt to figure the situation out but we know very little basics. what a thing was behind the fact that it wasn't because of the now dated knowledge he and major of course lost or i thought it had three of these natural disasters or maybe a combination of the two. before. it was

a combination of factors it was a force major i believe it was the highest possible trial for a nuclear power station practically a maximal earthquake plus a very strong tsunami but the loss of electric supply was a technical mistake i'm strongly convinced that indeed a standby power system should have been designed to stand such a block all future power stations would be equipped with such systems in his negotiations with prime minister care president medvedev made a very salient point should know where to build stations according to what design and who is to operate what does it mean and certainly japan has no other options but to build on the coast as it doesn't have large inland water sources to cool the water in dense and close cycle therefore their sea water is the most accessible way of cooling he carries and returning them into the closed firm i don't know if cycle and on the other hand if one builds on the coast they have to provide for

a tsunami impact and even more so tsunami and earthquake and what's this will be fixed in both existing in future projects i'm absolutely convinced. ok just three hundred forty kilometers from for. the background radiation in tokyo yesterday was as before my corinthians an hour right now we have eighteen my hurricanes are now on our side and i think talking about is out of danger now. i said as much to other channels yesterday we should fight the radio phobia kills more people than radiation girls you see even today we cannot know the long term consequences of chernobyl how many people die there is much speculation we do not have any direct data i'm not a specialist in this area but i do believe the specialists who talk about it we have an institute for the problems of the safe development of the atomic power industry the russian academy of sciences and of course on. sending forth

a wave of fear the tonic a mushroom cloud the atomic bomb to throw a sinister shadow of the atomic power in history this is why people perceive the word as a threat they have long being scared by the atomic bomb today it's a dangerous source of energy very dangerous if you don't watch it but the oil industry and chemical industries are just as dangerous as the huge shock waves yesterday also spoke about those tsunamis come ashore and washed away three hundred thousand people can you imagine that i'm sure that all the world's atomic power disasters for the next one hundred years keep your fingers crossed won't cause as many casualties it's scary to live near the coast. but is the coast deserted has no one come back it's a convenient place to live people fish people working tourists and make money people are coming back to the coast of course an early warning system is being developed and some sort of an evacuation arrangement is being put in place

reasonable orthorexic do take steps in this direction but it's a direct analogy no one is renouncing it because the earth isn't that large nor does it have enough energy and people can renounce it this is what we should head or atomic energy as a dangerous useful power source that ought to be developed to my mind literally power industry as one major advantage it employs a large number of advanced individuals scientists personnel are highly mobilized to watch safety in an attack of the elements like that is of course a horrible thing but i believe we will learn how to cope with this as well. that's russia have focused on what reactors you. know a boiling water reactor we had a prototype i dimitrov got a small fifty megawatt reactor we don't have these types of reactors. that have a similar type reactor use. i don't know if a certain germany has them for sure they'll jim i think as for the world figure out

of the total number of pressurized water reactor it's a characteristic feature where water is simultaneously a moderator and he carry reactor that's what distinguishes pressurized water reactors a quarter boiling or single reactors that lack a steam generator for three quarters of reactors like we had in this country where water is heated to a high temperature and a high pressure to generate steam in the steam generator and the steam is directed to the turbine this can offer certain advantages as we are seeing i think sir this has to be analyzed and the specialist will analyze it closely into little plants even if pumps fail was it driven by natural convection that will circulate along a closed loop provided the loop remains a medically sealed of course pick up heat and bring it to the steam generator generator in turn give it say to the cooling point inside the nuclear submarine

kursk which was scuttled by an explosion all sources of electric power went dead when its reactor compartment was brought to the surface and opened you could launch the reactor right away because there was no meltdown it was a true reactor with a natural convection remove heat at the core while it stain generated communicated the heat of seawater we see its so-called passive security at this particular design realize this is no panacea of course and all sorts of complications are possible but a direct hit of the tuna reactance is displayed in such cases. well be possible. the plant. or no it's the same thing is true not what the situation is unclear with how plants five and six where water is heated in importance the daughter is there as i mean a cooling ponds for withdraw nuclear fuel in this country there were also attempts to continue running the chernobyl part of the background levels were high or high

on the site i don't think the japanese government and the operating company will want to expose their personnel to radiation on that side because it will be made a zone for dealing with the consequences of the accident that's for sure. but what do you deal with the dentist reaction do you think a shelter will have. there was a similar accident in the world luckily the radioactive discharges were in significant i mean the three mile island reactor in the usa in one nine hundred seventy nine there was a milka we know the scenario where the core was melting and dropping to the reactors portal and heating it but they managed to keep it within the shell because there was water that removed the heat at first it was somewhat lost and the core began melting they couldn't stop it but eventually they succeeded in keeping it within the shell later they flooded the whole thing with water and started dismantling it underwater and they did it the main thing here is to stop the process of melting and to ward off critical situations that's the important thing

now. the japanese are able to cope the americans will help them and we're ready to help to our specialists are over there. to stop them are there. water on the one hand water may be dangerous when you add water you increase the chances of neutron multiplication but on the other you have no other way out you must pour in water to remove the residual heat and water of discharges or incidence and cover it from above your lead in some axis. so thank you very much for that.

we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from around the world. we've got the future of coverage. wealthy british scientists. like.

market trying to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. is a report. gunfire and explosions are heard across tripoli as u.n. forces press on with a no fly zone over libya. national committees have said the case will civilian casualties. japan resumes efforts to stabilize the damaged reactors at fukushima nuclear power plant work was suspended for unexplained snow conditions. enterprise zones efforts to stabilize the damage reactors there the work was suspended as you say to have more of that nature. up next the latest sports news with your

there and that slim advantage remains until the final minutes of regulation before upon god replays the goal to end up with a six where aiming to survive in the match and the series but instead believes these blocked or not scored into and out to match right at the buzzer sealing the two zero victory it means mccall will take on solo but who live in the east next well that might see a base up month in the west finals. football premier league know where three games were due to rounds out the second week out of action on monday but inclement weather shortened that to just to create some adams home game with say sky mosco postponed due to a waterlogged page constant snow over the weekend being some are ending any hopes of play them meanwhile xin needs have joined for being at the league summit following a window or better policy and he's on she team mates i'm sure a lot of open from china still it is man six minutes into the game as i made all the right moves in the area and at the end of the for. the star of the reigning

russian champions doubled their advantage following a down call us all betrayed argy keeper unable to save it down the game and that to neil. in the meantime spartak moscow bounced back from their shock opening defeat to rostov last weekend with a narrow we know when you boys rule that the north korean president strike a well it would be only build of the game here in the russian capital. and unmovable news shall hear point a new manager even to recover domestically and perform well in europe ralf around me create placing the recently signed relics maggette who left the club after they slumped to twelfth in the book this league on sunday with big names like proving the health fifty two year old run the quick test of gills and scare him away to spend a couple of season seven years ago while having also coached at hockenheim the shrewd good and head over choking else how to prepare for the upcoming champions league

quarter final against inter milan and a german cup final while running spurs much in charge will be a league game against some poly on the first of april. call side now where no of jock itch and rock on the dial played out a friendly match in bogota less than twenty four hours after battling each other in the final and they do wells the world stopped you're flying there straight from california where job which claimed this title of the season and twentieth win in a row as it beat nadal in three sets also it for all roger federer into second in the rankings joke or receiving a welcome by the sold out every name in the colombian capital with president juan manuel santos also in that sound and he was a close affair despite as an exhibition status with abdullah taking that seven six six three handing to set his first loss of the year which said afterwards his goal is to keep the momentum for the rest of the season.

to be honest. my goal for the experience is to try to try to be consistent with success and. you know the results in a. very long season first. is. good but there is a month of the whole season so. you know. you can turn around you know somebody else can we. you know the current. now in the n.b.a. mound his stay in the hogs for the final playoff spot in the west as they beat conference rivals you to jazz the grizzlies up by eight points at the end of the first. maybe playing to nine point two one separating is own rebound and be left handed o.-g.

mio adding a three pointer for on the corner of it was or off in second period to increase the relief well once the second round of making high nineteen points thirteen rebounds and was one of seven down face players with finished in double digits on the night with resisted his one zero three eighty five meeting new to drop three games behind them for the final spot with only eleven games left in the regular season. now alexander bush of course was the reigning k. one european champ and average twenty seven year old is aiming to clinch the world title next artie's constantin of gold to russia's hottest martial arts prospect is following in the footsteps of unity and come. russia has been synonymous with producing world class fighters for many years now there is disciplines in various martial arts scene washrooms dominating wing man and i want to go on but there has to give is one side where the undisputed world king watson champion was recently

invited to the brisky just a one world series after winning every bell he had fought for. and not a reason he spied legend fielder a million into the thirty four year old last emperor maybe in the twilight of his career now after losing two consecutive bout but he is still on doubt he one of the greatest choir is playing history today you really are and his former coach was long the good in it believes the next global star of the college game in his corner i sound a little shock or is it five books away to finish him but he's ready to knock down the key one door. i've been training bolcik of who more than a year good people deserves a good coach and vice versa when i started to train him i had to change his technique a little but he's punching and kicking styles is now as good as anyone's he does so powerful that sometimes after training i can feel my hands. which i called has had a lengthy one qualifying bouts winning ten of them in one draw with if when she style featuring flying using heat the twenty seven year old outclassed the

condition to claim the european court of last year and world crown now top of his agenda. first of all i want to become the best in the plant and then we'll get a very good hold a title defense like in russia because if you win you get paid to arms and hopefully that will happen but has been addicted to martial arts since he was ten each year making impressive progress with regional and national titles it is around his waist but for almost a decade into being old boesky won for the st petersburg native and shaped us in germany and the netherlands for example wires are paid by there for the russians that's why we don't have a lot of athletes as all of them have to earn money so instead of training they sing. the office. has them holding their skills but coping with success will help to stabilize a section of a one year and that russian flyers will get lots of opportunities develop the policeman who specializes in drug enforcement stealing if you do ration actually

start up in his native country his rise to the broccoli one ranks would happen sooner rather than later and that is sure to be a very important step in developing the sport in martial arts crazy russian his name but out of origin. and back before birth while only thirteen goals scored in seven matches as the russian premier league can say they were the second out over the weekend let's have another look at their strikes and the goals galore. live . live live
